Windows 7: Skype for TV will no longer be supported

What's changing for Skype for TV?
Starting in June 2016, the Skype for TV application will no longer be supported; there will be no updates to the application. This will also affect new account creation and password resets. This will only be available through Skype.com.

Will I be able to use Skype for TV after June 2016?
This may vary depending on the TV model. TV manufacturers may remove the Skype for TV application from some or all of their models. If you have questions, please contact your TV manufacturer for information on the availability of Skype for TV on your TV model.

Why are these changes being made to Skype for TV?
Since 2010, Skype has delivered a great calling experience in the living room in partnership with several TV manufacturers. But over the years, users have changed the way they use Skype, with the majority accessing it from a mobile device – including when in the living room. We want to make sure we prioritize delivering the best possible experience to the platforms our users are asking for, which is why we’ve decided to focus our efforts in other areas while supporting key functionality on Skype for TV for as long as possible.

Yep manufactures may not want to issue fixes to comply with what M$ wants
10 is supposed to be great at scaling to larger screens anyway so looks like bluetooth or some other connections can be used :/
